It can be tough sometimes to maintain a positive attitude even when things are going well! I think Zig Ziglar said it best when he said “We all need a daily check up from the neck up to avoid stinkin ‘thinkin’ which ultimately leads to hardening of the attitudes.”

I saw this quote fly by on as I was watching a training video this morning and it struck an truth chord inside me! I have been struggling these past few days with bringing up motivation and positive energy and seemed kinda stuck with it all.

Spiritually plugged up if you will.I put a shout out to the Universe for a little help and along came this treasure and I structured it for ease by thinking of four areas to contemplate. What is around me. My environment. Where am I choosing to spend my time and with whom. My physical space is in chaos and this was the push I needed to clean house because sitting at and looking at chaos is not good for my spirit!

Then I thought about what I am listening to including the words coming out of my own mouth. I like to fill in the cracks in my day by listening to podcasts or trainings of some sort. Or music. Is it relevant? Useful? Nurturing? Or does it somehow feed into negativity or impossibility. I have been catching myself lately spewing negative stuff and it’s made me pause and consider what’s going on.

And looking at affirmations and self image. How I feel – about myself, about the world around me. Am I being to critical? judgmental? or am I keeping things balanced and in perspective. Do I leave enough wiggle room in my plans for the day for poop to happen and have space to adapt?

By doing a daily checkup with my own self I should be able to … haha I said “should. By doing a daily checkup I will maximize the chance that when I do start to slide in a direction I don’t want to go in, I will catch it and course correct before I get into trouble. This has proven to be true as this quote came at a time when I needed a boost! And a sound strategy. Happy smile!!
